September may be the best fishing month of the year when all factors are considered. Water and air temperatures are still warm during the day, but the nights are cooling off making camping conditions excellent. With Labor Day weekend in the past, visitation by recreational boaters decline while fishermen start to return. The lake calms down a little with less fast boats and more slow fishing boats.
